I just wanted to drink on New Year’s Eve, and I just want Anderson to be happy,” Andy explained. So does the news of Licht’s ousting make Andy happy. “I don’t know the answer to that - I guess, because it didn’t work out,” Andy responded. “Was the wrong guy for the job?” Howard asked. Howard was curious of how Cohen felt about the big shake up. Last week, Licht was ousted from CNN following the release of a lengthy Atlantic profile which revealed - among many other things - that the news network’s employees were largely unhappy with his performance. “We did everything we could to get around, but it was just a stupid move.” “People want to see me make Anderson giggle, and they love to see him do shots.” Andy told Howard, explaining he and Anderson were forced to get creative this year and drink pickle juice on the air. A few months later, it led to a company-wide prohibition as CNN’s new chief executive Chris Licht told broadcasters they could no longer consume alcohol on the air. It also led to a string of hot takes suggesting the famed friends had gotten too loose on live TV. As it turned out, doing shots on the air with co-host Anderson Cooper led to more than just a headache. His journal begins with a hangover-one he earned during a booze-filled New Year’s Eve broadcast on CNN.
